About this episode.
  • How to see God & Country differently by applying universal spirituality.

Intro

  • Introduction music
  • Teaser clip
  • The Newsroom - America is not the greatest country in the world anymore...(Restricted language) (youtube.com)
  • Welcome to Going Rogue, where we unleash the unthinkable to take our thinking to the edge of our comfort zone and create a new narrative.

    • Episode Overview: Our second try at this topic! We learned to “see differently”!

    For a roguish conversation:

    1. Is there room for God in politics, or do we need a clear separation of church and state?

    2. What are the dangers of either answer to the first question?

    3. Does the word God automatically eliminate a whole demographic of Americans who don’t believe in that word? Is the moral compass we discussed merely a human construct and do ideas of God just muddy the water? What if good people just behaved as good people?

    4. Is it the same God that is omnipresent in all countries, or is it only the limited idea of God coming through the lens of the ruling authority?
